CHESAPEAKE, WV (WCHS/WVAH) —

West Virginia has received national attention for obesity rates.

Just last year the state came in at number five for high school obesity. Now elementary schools are taking part in a Operation Tone Up, a program trying to combat the problem for students before they graduate.

Chesapeake Elementary student Kaydence Walker said for her the fast paced music helps her forget she's even working out.
